Taking a lead from Killer Clown I thought I'd create a alternative thread to post some videos I like...

[EDIT New video here]

So on with the show:

Here's the Kent Hovind Theory:

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions simply because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

Where did the galaxy come from? Who created the rock that resulted in "the big bang theory". Who created the atom?

Evolution - "more holey the The Bible"

First to spot Tom's new mult

Nobody else…Besides that, I tell you something else. I think that’s guy’s lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.”

If you go back through this thread I don't challenge the easily proven facts of so called evolution. There are many errors taught starting with billions and billions of years ago, this is not factual but a wild guess.

Evolution is not a multi part theory. You can't say that some parts of it are true but not others. That would be like saying "I believe in division in math, but not long division".

Evolution describes the change of species over time. The amount of time involved is irrelevant to how "True" the evolution of a species is. Evolution over 100 years isn't any more true than evolution over 1 billion years. So if you acknowledge evolution over short frames of time, then you acknowledge evolution itself. There are no degrees of belief.

The only problem you have is that your religious belief contradicts the observed age of the universe. But the irony is that evolution is not dependent on the age of the universe, and vice versa. Evolution doesn't address the age of the universe at all. It doesn't address the origin of the universe. The theory of evolution explains changes in existing species. That's it. You're the one trying to attribute the age of the universe to Evolution. You're taking what you don't believe/understand, and incorrectly attributing it to evolution, when it's not a part of it.

Also, the age of the universe can be estimated in the billions by something as simple as the darkness of the sky at night. If the universe were actually only 6,000 years old, then space would not be dark at night. The sky would be equally as bright at night, as it is during daytime, because we would be able to see all existing light from the universe. Because of the calculated speed of light, all light in the universe would still be visible within 6,000 years of the beginning of the universe. Only because the universe has been expanding for 14+ billion years, can we look up at the night sky and see darkness. This little video explains the process:

Giant leaps of faith for something so simple, thanks for proving my point.

The "Clincher" to what? You must not have watched the video, because in addition to me explaining why that's the case, the video did as well. If you're challenging the truth of my claim, then please provide some data that supports your accusation.

I tell you what, why don't you tell me how old you approximate the universe to be. Then we'll look at the probability of your belief.

I prefer baby steps first we can figure out why people can't get along, kill each other every day act like complete and total douches, etc then we can play with the space situation as we progress. Preferably when we can actually travel further than a moon away....Cart before the horse and the question doesn't really need to be answered when we aren't smart enough to do what should be rather simple things while on this planet.

You're finally converting to agnosticism after all this time. Thanks for proving my point.

No, my point is you can ask GOD when the time comes as the answer won't fit in our puny little minds. Until then feel free to look up and estimate the age by the billions as you see the infinite universe.

Nah, I'll feel free to acknowledge that all of your protestations of God's will, divine interventions and the Bible as the ultimate moral guidebook are just farts in a bathtub. But by all means keep ****ing that chicken.

So you're afraid to share your belief for fear of it being proven wrong huh? That's OK, that's about what I expected...

But it's sure neat that you have devised a chronological order of knowledge to apply to a civilization. I'm sure that will come in handy.

I've never been one to think that any idea or topic is beyond current human understanding though. Limiting or delaying our understanding, or thinking that we know enough about anything, is a pretty frightening way to live life in my opinion.

Nah, I'll feel free to acknowledge that all of your protestations of God's will, divine interventions and the Bible as the ultimate moral guidebook are just farts in a bathtub. But by all means keep ****ing that chicken.

You've lost it, completely.
